He got his license at the beginning of the year
Mark Zuckerberg has quite diverse interests: in addition to managing Meta * and participating in MMA fights, the billionaire decided to sit at the helm of an airplane.
On Saturday, The Information reported that the billionaire received his pilot’s license earlier this year, citing Federal Aviation Administration records.
The ability to fly a plane puts Zuckerberg on a par with Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Snap CEO Evan Spiegel. Musk once owned and flew aircraft, including a fighter jet, but he no longer flies.
“Unfortunately, I no longer fly,” Musk said in a September 2008 interview with The Washington Post. “I have to work when I fly, and I have too many thoughts in my head to pay proper attention to the plane – at times I can be absent-minded, and this is a very bad habit for a pilot.”
Mark Zuckerberg became a pilot, like Elon Musk and some other leaders of IT companies
Mark Zuckerberg revealed that he does jiu-jitsu and MMA fights to “reboot” his body.
Recall that Elon Musk challenged Zuckerberg by inviting him to fight in a cage after the announcement of the Threads social network, copying Twitter.
According to the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Dana White, billionaires are very serious .
